Tried various things to get 10.9.3 beta to boot on my Hack, to no avail. So unfortunately can't test the UP2414Q with it yet. There are a few others with similar problems too, details are in this Netkas thread.

@Ricky Romero:

Is there anything particular you had to do to get 10.9.3 beta running with your GTX 760?

So far I'm unsuccessful with GTX 770 and 780, I get constant WindowServer crashes instead of the login screen. I didn't have those problems with 10.9.1 or 10.9.2 (though 10.9.2 seems more unstable than 10.9.1 for me).

I can boot 10.9.3 (all the builds including the new beta that just came out) just fine on a hack, but getting retina working at 60hz is a thing. I don't need to replace any files to get the system up, but I can only set 30hz resolutions.

Works fine on my late 2013 MBPR. Would be nice to get this fixed. Using Clover as my bootloader. Graphics card is the GTX 670. 60hz works in Windows just fine.

One problem I ran into with beta 2 was that my card would only drive my 4K monitor, and not my 27" DVI display. Gonna test on beta 3 to see if I run into the same problems as you guys.

UPDATE: Tried 10.9.3 beta 3 and I'm having no luck getting my second monitor working, though the 4K display is still working fine. Also tried deleting /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver.plist to no avail.

UPDATE 2: Just tried deleting all the DisplayVendorID entries in /System/Library/Displays/Overrides, also to no avail. I'm stumped. Back to 10.9.2 for now.

I've just registered to the forum just to contact you-- I am sorry for the PM, I'd have preferred to reply within the thread but the forum for some odd reason, says I "cannot reply to this topic"!

Anyhow, I just want to clarify something. Have you tried running 4k @ 60Hz via Windows on late 2013 13'' rMBP with Iris? Was it successful? If not, do you think this can be possible in the future? (I've read conflicting Intel documents on Iris regarding 4k 60Hz capability, hence I've still got hope)

I did not try any version of Windows on the 13" rMBP (late 2013). It's not my own machine, just a machine at work which I was able to borrow for a couple of minutes for some quick testing, so I will not be able to do any Windows tests.

I don't know if Iris is capable of UHD/4K @60 Hz, but if it is, it probably does need drivers updated for MST support, much like AMD GPUs got in v10.9.2 and NVidia GPUs are about to get in v10.9.3.

I did try the NVIDIA web drivers when I was trying to get 60Hz working initially, but I'm 95% sure I wiped all traces of them from my system.

Ricky, you're my hero! Thank you so much for your help!

With your MacPro6,1 SMBios I got 10.9.3 beta 3 to successfully display the login window! Only on my secondary display though, as the primary Dell UP2414Q was black (I suspect OS X attempted to run it at 30.3 Hz or some other refresh rate that does not work). I logged in and played around a bit. The "Gather Windows" button of the "Displays" preference pane was very helpful for this.

Booting a 10.9.3 beta 2 partition (an upgraded clone of my normal daily-use 10.9.2 partition) worked as well with the MacPro6,1 SMBios. On this partition the NVidia driver is installed, so naturally it complains about not being compatible with 10.9.3 beta and that the OS X default driver is active.

I'm currently using the 2560x1440 HiDPI mode so I can display as much as I can on my previous Samsung 27" display.

The only thing that's not quite perfect is that my secondary display (a 24" one with 1920x1200 res) doesn't display anything other than the mouse cursor when I set it to 90° rotation. It works normally at "Standard" rotation, so that's what I'm using for now.

Update:

1. to clarify, while I did initially use Ricky's Chameleon config as well, it turned out not to be necessary.

2. Rominator at Netkas suggested that rotated displays might be problematic. Given my secondary display is usually rotated 90° this might well have been a problem for me too.

I'm having nothing but problems in the latest seeds. Beta 7 (13D43) only runs my 2560x1440 display, and when I change the display settings, both displays blank out. Beta 6 was the opposite: It would only drive the 4K display.

Hi,

I've also purchased Dell UP2414Q. I am running the latest 10.9.3 beta using Geforce 770 to drive the screen. I was wondering if anyone was able to get it running at native 2160p at 60Hz. I am only able to select different scaled resolutions (up to 1692p). When i try to change DP mode to 1.2 in OST settings my screen goes blank. I would greatly appreciate any advice.

I have tried 10.9.3 (13D43a) on the Dell UP2414Q (DP1.2 enable) and GTX760 and I get a black screen. I also do not get the RefreshRate box, so I cannot change it in case it was on 30.3Hz. Am I doing anything wrong?
